“And between the words of wisdom and the slogans of despair
Someone's just gone and written 'I'm sorry' there”

Will Ferrell’s Trebek vs. Sean Connery’s “whore ads,” “anal bum cover,” and “Jap-anus relations.” Peak SNL chaos.

“Don’t Go” was written by Vince Clarke for Yazoo’s debut album, Upstairs at Eric’s (1982). After leaving Depeche Mode, Clarke answered an ad from Alison Moyet, a blues and soul singer from Basildon, and the two formed the duo. In the United States and Canada they were billed as Yaz, because another act already had the name Yazoo.
Released on 5 July 1982 as the second single, after “Only You,” it reached No. 3 on the UK Singles Chart, No. 1 in Belgium and Iceland, and No. 1 on the US Dance chart. The album took its name from the upstairs room at producer Eric Radcliffe’s studio. The partnership was already over by the time the second album, You and Me Both, reached No. 1 in 1983.

The peace talks are failing because Putin still believes he can win the war, and because Trump, Kushner and Witkoff encourage this belief. By pressuring Ukraine, not Russia, they are prolonging the conflict, which will kill more people.
A landmark album ❤️
55 years ago today, Genesis released Nursery Cryme.
The third album came out on Charisma on November 12, 1971, and it was the first to feature the five-piece of Peter Gabriel, Tony Banks, Mike Rutherford, Phil Collins and Steve Hackett. Collins had joined in August 1970 after answering a Melody Maker advertisement. Hackett arrived in January 1971 after placing an ad of his own in the same paper.
They recorded the album at Trident Studios in London with producer John Anthony. It opens with The Musical Box, a Victorian fairy story that became a live favorite and inspired Paul Whitehead's cover painting of a girl on a croquet lawn. Collins sang his first Genesis lead vocal on For Absent Friends, a short acoustic song he wrote with Hackett.
At home, the record was slow to find an audience. It did not enter the UK Official Albums Chart until May 11, 1974, and then only for one week, at No. 39.
Cover painting: Paul Whitehead
Pick one: The Musical Box, The Return of the Giant Hogweed, The Fountain of Salmacis or Harold the Barrel.

Ο ορισμός του Βαθέως Κράτους.
Ο ευρύτερος Δημόσιος Τομέας (78.433 άτομα) αντιστοιχεί στο 14,52% του συνολικού εργατικού δυναμικού της Κύπρου, αλλά εκτιμάται ότι αποτελεί περίπου το 21,85% του εργατικού δυναμικού που έχει δικαίωμα ψήφου, έχουν δε
συνολικές απολαβές και ωφελήματα περίπου €4,4 δισ. Δηλαδή έχουν μέσο καθαρό μισθό €3,000/μήνα για το γνωστό παραγόμενο έργο τους.
Κάτι προκύπτει με τις προσλήψεις ή/και προαγωγές 160 από αυτούς στους ΕΟΑ οπότε το υπόλοιπο 85.48% που έχει μέσο καθαρό μισθό €2,000/μήνα με πολλαπλάσια προσπάθεια από τους ΔΥ, οφείλει να ακούει για 45' στο ραδιόφωνο το πρωί βουλευτές να προσπαθούν ασμένως να ηρεμήσουν και να καθησυχάσουν το 21.85% των ΔΥ που εξηγέρθει. 🙄

55 years ago today, Genesis released ‘Nursery Cryme,’ the first album featuring Phil Collins and Steve Hackett. From “The Musical Box” to “Harold the Barrel,” it helped define the band's theatrical prog-rock sound.

“I fell in love with the Beatles' music (and simultaneously, of course, with their four faces-cum-personae) along with my children, two girls and a boy, in whom I discovered the frabjous falsetto shriek-cum-croon, the ineluctable beat, the flawless intonation, the utterly fresh lyrics, the Schubert-like flow of musical invention and the Fuck-You coolness of these Four Horsemen of Our Apocalypse, on the Ed Sullivan Show of 1964. Together we saw it, The Vision, in our inevitably different ways (I was forty-six!), but we saw the same Vision, and heard the same Dawn-Bird, Elephant-Trump, Fanfare of the Future . . .
“The notes healed, the words teased; or perhaps it was vice versa. But something teased, and something healed, year after year, Rigby after Rigby, Paperback after Norwegian . . .
"Meanwhile, there was a slim volume of pure verbal genius by a new author called John Lennon: In His Own Write. If this weren’t enough to rhapsodize upon, there were the notes (and the sylph-siren voice) of one McCartney. These two made a pair embodying creativity mostly unmatched during that fateful decade . . . John and Paul, Saints John and Paul, were, and made, and aureoled and beatified and eternalized the concept that shall always be known, remembered and deeply loved as The Beatles. To me, they were the best songwriters since Gershwin.
“And yet, the two were merely something, the four were It. The interdependence was astonishing, and in some ways appalling; do we really need all this to sustain us When We’re 64? Well, today I am almost 64, and three bars of 'A Day In The Life' still sustain me, rejuvenate me, inflame my senses and sensibilities.
“The Beatles are no more. But this week I am still jumping, weeping, remembering a good epoch, a golden decade, a fine time, a fine time . . .”

We have detected speed restrictions on Starshield on our Ukrainian territory – in the temporarily occupied parts of Ukraine. The speed limit is back at 161 kilometers per hour – that’s 100 miles per hour.
This directly affects our ability to intercept Russian jet-powered “shahed” drones. These drones come from those areas, and because of the speed restrictions, we simply cannot catch up with them in time.
Near the frontline, we cannot use our aircraft. Only drone interceptors can operate there. And without the speed we need, shooting down these “shaheds” becomes much harder.
This means more Russian strikes get through, and more of our people are killed by Russia. We are trying to get the details from the American side, but so far, we know very little.
If someone in America is making decisions that basically treat Ukrainian territory as if it is not Ukrainian, then this tells us where things are going. We need to be clear and never recognize Russia’s occupation of Ukrainian territory in any way.

Ο μόνος λόγος που μπορεί να βγαινει με τοση έπαρση να μιλά για επενδύσεις σε πολιτικές, δράσεις που προάγουν δηθεν τη συμπερίληψη, την ισότητα, τον σεβασμό της διαφορετικότητας κλπ ειναι γιατί εμείς συμπεριφερομαστε επαγγελματικα, δεχομαστε τα πυρά μετά απο καθε περιστατικο (τι εκαναν, που ηταν οι δασκαλοι) και δεν κατονομαζουμε επιθεωρητές και λειτουργους του υπουργείο απο τους οποιους ζητούμε επανειλημμένα βοήθεια.
Εστω ένα "υποθετικό" σεναριο. Μαθητής με επαναλαμβανομενα περιστατικά άσκησης βιας σε μια δύσκολη ταξη. Γονείς δε συμφωνούν να τον δει ψυχολόγος. Δεν δινουν συγκατάθεση για ΟΑΠ. Κονδύλια για συνοδο μας λένε εξαντληθηκαν. Λυσεις επιθεωρητριας: να τον στέλνετε λιγο στη μονάδα. Να του δινετε λιγο το ταμπλετ να ηρεμα. Μα επρεπε να συμπληρωνατε πέρσι ενα εντυπο 45Α για να χωριστεί η τάξη.
Λεμε να μας τα δωσετε γραπτως. Απαντηση: Ε μα....
Τα χερια μας ειναι δεμενα, καμια ουσιαστική βοήθεια δεν υπαρχει μα ούτε κ ποινή σε τετοιες περιπτωσεις γονεων που απειλουν με καταγγελίες στερηθει κατι το παιδι τους. . Οταν παθει ομως καποιος κάτι.. Τι έκαναν οι αχαπαροι οι δασκαλοι. Θα το αφησω εδω γιατί αν πουμε να μιλησουμε ονομαστικά θα παρει πολλούς ο λάκκος. Εμεις ακολουθουμε τις διαδικασιες και την ιεραρχια. Εν θα γραφουμε στο που πηγαμε και δεν μας άρεσε τι είπαμε και τι μας απάντησε ο καθε λειτουργός. Να φροντίσει η κ.Μιχαηλιδου να κάνουν οι λειτουργοί της τη δουλειά τους άμεσα και αποτελεσματικά.
